Games You Can Play With A Newborn Baby 2006-10-19 13:37:57 Caring for a newborn baby is kind of like caring for a bag full of beef jerky, except the beef jerky is slightly more aware of your existence.
For the first couple of weeks newborn babies generally do the following in no particular order:
1. Cry.
2. Eat.
3. Poop.
4. Trick you into thinking they are sleeping, but the [...] Read more:Games

21 Altoid Boxes of Spare Change 2006-10-13 10:13:53 Go ahead… guess how much…
I hate carrying spare change. This fact will be important in a moment.

Introducing Baby Coffee 2006-10-05 10:07:45 My son’s arrival into the world last week began with two words that are more associated with contraception than birth.
“Oh shit.”
It was my wife, exclaiming this at about 3:45 in the morning. Me, still mostly asleep, took the phrase rather literally and uttered, “Bad dog!” thinking our faithful Papillon just couldn’t wait and had [...] Read more:Introducing

Links To Help You Waste Your Day 2006-09-22 11:59:23 I just thought I’d post some of the links I’ve seen or found in the past week or two of surfing the web on the company’s time. Most of these links have absolutely no redeeming value and viewing them will, more than likely, cause more harm than good. They’re all “safe for work” (sfw)….

Disaster Recovery Discovery Plan 2006-09-18 11:57:32 In an ongoing effort to look busy and more reasons to send out senseless press releases, my company has formed a committee to examine our own disaster recovery plans “in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and Rita.” It’s nice of them to wait a year before exploiting the misfortunes of others in order to [...] Read more:Disaster

BzzAgent is Making Me Fat 2006-08-30 13:46:30 A few months ago my wife signed up with an online marketing program called BzzAgent. BzzAgent is a “viral” marketing company.

IM Getting So Tired of My Boss 2006-12-11 03:45:12 My boss Dick Lumbergh is five years older than me, makes twice my salary and should probably not be allowed to use an electric toaster, much less be in charge of a technology department for a mid-sized company.
